Land Art

Hi to All.

Thought to share some of my work I have been doing the last years, maybe even meet other people in this community that are really into stones. 🤷‍♂️🙂

So if I going to share this I think I should be honest of what actually happened. It all started for me 5 years ago, actually also in October. And after an Ayahuasca ceremony that happened on the night of 10/10, which was exactly 10 years from my father passing away, on 10/10/10.

I end up hiking up mount Olympus the next day with some friends. That was also synchronous because I first visited Olympus right after my father passing away. A lot was transmuted those days up on the mountain and at some point I just picked up a stone that I liked and was playing with it, and eventually without being aware I brought it with me to Athens. Some how in my mind it became a reminder of the trip, a symbol that signified the deeper process that unfolded in my psyche, a symbol of gratitude towards life itself. (After of a decade of going in and out of depression periods)

Then intuitively I took that stone and went to my father’s grave, for the first time since he passed away. I left the stone with a letter I wrote to him, and I took some stone from there. And for 5 years now I have been collecting, symbolising, moving, offering, rearranging, ext.

It started evolving on its own and kind of became a symbolic language for me. From the point that I find any particular stone, a symbolic story would start, and our journey would end when, at the right time I would leave it as a symbolic offering. Slowly the place and time would play a part in this stories more and more. Intuitively I would just have to take some stones at different sites. It got a bit extreme at times, like when I hiked up mount Taygetos (sacred mountain of Sparta) to spend the night on the peak by myself and take some stones up there, to end up with 3 triangular stones that I took to Egypt with me that I left in the small chamber, just before the kings chamber in the Great Pyramid. I know! It started getting coocoo! 😜😂

Very loooong story short, it’s been 5 years, probably 200+ sites around 4 different countries, every stone with a story, and I can’t really see myself stopping. It’s become a symbolic language for me that I use to communicate with deeper layers of my own subconscious and the natural world around me.

9 months ago, around winter solstice, I found some stones scattered around that where a part of an stone wall up on the mountain close to my house. I started rearranging the stones in a 3,6m stone circle align with North/South/East/West. Then I started taking some stones collected from different spots and taking them up on my back. But that started getting a bit coocoo as well, especially a big piece of white marble in the centre of the circle that I found in the sea and jumped in February to get it out and then carried it up the mountain and it weighed 40kg (trust me, sometimes I would have no idea why I am doing it, just felt like I should). Also I need to mention that mostly all information of where and when each stone had to go was mostly conveyed with synchronicities, a loooot of stories with those.

Anyways I have attached some photos of the stone circle up on the mountain, that I want to work on for 6 months more. (Until Spring Equinox) And funny thing is that it’s technically illegal in Greece, so I can’t officially present it. But I like the idea that if anyone stumbled on it, it would be a mystery for them of who or why someone made this.

Good day to All! ✌️🌞
